The L&D Specialist will develop and execute a global training strategy, coordinating with regional teams to ensure effective training alignment and delivery.
Position Title: L&D Specialist
Position Type: Regular - Full-Time
Requisition ID: 39348
McCain is embarking on a global supply chain planning and S&OP transformation to improve how we plan and operate our business and supply chain. Key challenges with today's processes include a lack of data connectivity, a lack of engagement from all functions, and a significant time requirement to create demand and supply plans. We are looking to add a Learning & Development Specialist to the team to assist with the coordination and alignment between our global and regional teams to ensure training is designed, agreed upon, and effectively deployed.
About the role.
Reporting to the L&D Manager, Global Transformation, the L&D Specialist, is responsible for supporting the development and execution of the global training strategy for the transformation program. This includes collecting and synthesizing regional input, coordinating alignment activities, tracking progress, and ensuring that the regional transformation teams are enabled to operationalize the strategy.
What you'll be doing.
The L&D Specialist will support the creation, alignment, and operationalization of the global training strategy, working closely with the L&D Manager, Global Transformation; regional change and training leads; and external consultants. While consultants will create much of the training collateral, this role will focus on gathering input, gaining alignment, and enabling regions to execute effectively.
What you'll need to be successful.
To be successful in this role, you'll bring a strong ability to connect the dots between global vision and local execution. You'll need the organizational skills to maintain a clear, actionable global training strategy and calendar, along with the adaptability to work closely with regional teams to tailor content, processes, and timelines to their specific needs. Your proactive approach will help you anticipate challenges, coordinate across time zones, and ensure alignment at every stage-from early planning to post-rollout feedback. Attention to detail in documentation, communication, and tracking progress will be critical to keeping all stakeholders informed and engaged.
You'll also excel if you can build trusted relationships across cultures and organizational levels, acting as both a reliable point of contact and a collaborative problem solver. Success in this position will require balancing structure with flexibility, ensuring global consistency without losing sight of local priorities. A continuous improvement mindset-seeking and applying lessons learned-will help you drive adoption, boost engagement, and enhance the overall impact of training initiatives. Ultimately, your ability to blend strategic thinking, stakeholder management, and hands-on coordination will be the key to delivering high-quality, on-time training programs that make a measurable difference.
Key qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• 10 years in training coordination, learning & development, or change management.
• Experience supporting training in large-scale change or transformation programs (global experience preferred).
• Strong project coordination and organizational skills, with attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working across cultures, regions, and time zones.
• Some experience with technical training or system rollouts preferred.
• Ability to influence without formal authority and maintain strong working relationships.
• Ability to travel internationally, as needed.
